Xiao Bane of All Evil

Bane of All Evil

Xiao dons the Yaksha Mask that set gods and demons trembling millennia ago.

Yaksha's Mask
· Greatly increases Xiao's jumping ability.
· Increases his attack AoE and attack DMG.
· Converts attack DMG into Anemo DMG, which cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion.

In this state, Xiao will continuously lose HP.
The effects of this skill end when Xiao leaves the field.

Donning the Mask of the Yaksha, Xiao takes the terrifying, demon-conquering form of the Vigilant Yaksha. But this great power has also brought him great suffering. Some call him "The Bane of All Evil."

Reasons for Recommendation:

  • The main entry increases ATK, the secondary entry increases CRIT Rate, and the passive entry increases Normal Attack DMG

  • With a low acquisition cost

  • A better transition choice for novice players

Blackcliff Pole (4-star)

Reasons for Recommendation:

  • The main entry increases ATK, the secondary entry increases CRIT DMG, and the passive entry increases the ATK within 30 seconds after defeating the enemy. The CRIT DMG of the secondary entry effectively improves the output of the character, and the passive entry has a significant effect on the group.

  • With a low acquisition cost and stable access

How to Obtain:
